@Napalm: Exactly. I'm not a huge fan of the series but this is some great cover art. Reminds me of the video game version of the Criterion Collection that started on NeoGAF:Exactly! It has the alien consuming the city, since it is under attack, and the man walking towards the city, representing the resistance that wants to rid the aliens. It just makes sense.

You Should Really See Resistance 3's Box Art
Odd, I was introduced to this guy's work yesterday. His stuff is very hit-or-miss. This box art is a miss, imo.
@Enigma777 said:It may be clever, but it certainly doesn't help it from looking absolutely atrocious. And picking orange as the main color was the wrong way to go...@Dan_CiTi said:Don't be dumb. The art works because it's a clever way to tie up the game without just putting the generic "fallen city with aliens looking at you" shit that has been churned out for so long. And the two-color works amazingly.@Enigma777 said:No... you're right. A splotch or orange and white is totally "art"Worst cover I've ever seen...Yeah...you're right...all those covers of random dudes staring at you or looking at a battlefield are wayyyy better than actual you know...artwork.That being said the logos hurt it.Just think of all the money they'll save on ink!
I didn't get this post until I saw this:wait. isn't this oddly similar to a movie poster?

" YOU are the Resistance"You mean resistanc3I expect that to be horribly overused in the advertising for this game.
